The New Snake Oil: Brain Training & Brain Fitness
By John M. Grohol, PsyD

I couldn’t help but notice the new TV advertisements for a service called “Lumosity,” a company that suggests you can “reclaim your brain” by simply playing their brain training games (at only $15/month). Sounds like fun!

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve written about these kinds of programs (more than once).

So I checked out Lumosity’s research backing to see if anything new has come down the pike to support the use of these kinds of cognitive games to help ordinary adults — not senior citizens or others suffering from mild cognitive impairment. In a nutshell, is there a solid research base to suggest that you can improve your brain’s fitness with these programs?

The answer should surprise no one...........
